Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0800934A2] The present invention relates to a safety castor wheel, which has been specifically designed for furniture articles and the like. The castor wheel comprises a supporting element which can be associated with the furniture article and which supports rotatably, about a substantially horizontal axis, at least a wheel. The safety castor wheel comprises moreover a lever locking element (7) which is pivoted, at a middle portion thereof, to the supporting element (2), about a parallel axis (8) spaced from the wheel axis (4). The locking element (7) has one end thereof provided with a tooth arrangement (9) which can be engaged with or disengaged from, by causing the locking element to swing about the pivot pin thereof, a gear ring (10) rigid with the wheel. The other end portion of the locking element outwardly projects from the castor wheel-supporting element assembly and can be driven to cause the locking element (7) to swing about the pivot pin or fulcrum thereof.
